Chapter 313 Don't you know you're going to the wasteland today?
Mrs. Yun looked at Wei Qingwan and then at Wei Ruo, and said, "Okay, okay, since we are all a family, we are of one mind, so let's not talk about the little misunderstandings in the middle, Wanwan will follow Ruoer well today. , learn more skills."
The eldest daughter can understand righteousness so deeply, Yun is very happy.
As the eldest daughter said, although they have some conflicts at home, they all represent the Wei family outside. As long as the eldest daughter can remember this in her heart, it will be good.
"Let's go, I'm in a hurry." Wei Ruo smiled slightly, and went out.
Wei Qingwan bit her lip and followed.
Still riding in Wei Ruo's carriage, after getting into the carriage, Wei Ruo rested on the soft cushions as he did the day before.
The carriage drove for a while without stopping, Wei Qingwan was a little puzzled, calculating the time, it should be time to arrive at the magistrate's mansion.
Wei Qingwan carefully lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage window and looked outside.
I saw that the outside was not a bustling market, but an empty suburb.
Wei Qingwan hurriedly asked Wei Ruo: "What's going on? Where is this going?"
Wei Ruo slowly opened one eye, and lazily replied: "Don't you know?"
"You didn't say it, how would I know?"
"I asked my mother before I went out, did she really understand what we are doing now? She said she did."
Wei Ruo's voice was lazy, and the only eye that was opened was only half-opened, so it couldn't be said that it was lazy.
"Where are you taking me?" Wei Qingwan asked again.
"A place to open up wasteland, you don't think that I just need to stay at the magistrate's house every day to settle accounts and give orders?" Wei Ruo chuckled.
"You..." Wei Qingwan didn't know how to refute Wei Ruo.
Looking at Wei Ruo's clothes today, it was clean and neat linen clothes, Wei Qingwan realized that Wei Ruo had planned today's itinerary early in the morning, but deliberately didn't explain it clearly to her before going out!
"Save some strength, the place to go in a while is not easy to walk, it needs strength." Wei Ruo added, then closed his eyes and continued to rest.
"Refugees gather in the wasteland, don't you bring more people?" Wei Qingwan was very disturbed.
If she knew Wei Ruo's arrangement today, she should think again.
Wei Ruo didn't answer, too lazy to explain too much.
Naturally, there are escorts. Madam Yuan often arranges for Wei Ruo, but in order to save time, Wei Ruo directly arranges for him to go to the destination to wait for her.
Wei Ruo's reaction made Wei Qingwan angry and helpless. Watching the carriage gradually drive towards the desolate area away from human habitation, her heart was also suspended high.
The place where wasteland was opened up was originally a place where no one lived, and it was more desolate and remote than ordinary suburban mountain villages.
She would never go to such a place on weekdays, and she didn't know if there would be any danger.
This trip took half a day. At noon, I was a little hungry. Wei Ruo took out dried sweet potatoes and tea from the box beside her, and tasted it leisurely.
He also generously handed Wei Qingwan two pieces of sweet potatoes.
Wei Qingwan glanced at the dry sweet potato, but didn't pick it up.
At this moment, her heart is full of resentment towards Wei Ruo, how can she eat the food she gave, let alone something like dried sweet potatoes that doesn't look good.
After another quarter of an hour, the carriage finally stopped.
"Miss." Mother Qin stood outside the car and greeted Wei Ruo in person.
Xiumei lifted the curtain of the car for Wei Ruo, and when Wei Ruo got out of the car, Nanny Qin reached out to help him.
Many people stood around the carriage, including maids and guards, some were from the prefect, and some were sent by Chu Lan to Wei Ruo.
"I'm sorry, Madam." Wei Ruo said.
Wei Qingwan got out of the car after Wei Ruo, but no one helped her, and no one even noticed her existence.
After getting off the car, Wei Ruo looked around, and found that this piece of land was relatively flat among the several pieces of wasteland that she circled to be reclaimed.
But there are still many barren mountains nearby, dividing this large piece of wasteland.
At a glance, both the mountains and the land are desolate. There are no tall and dense vegetation, and no trees can be seen. It is mainly wild grass that does not have high requirements for the living environment, and some shrubs with tenacious vitality can be seen sporadically.
Looking into the distance again, there are groups of disaster victims. They are thin, ragged, and unkempt.
At this moment, they are under the leadership of a management team composed of government servants and family guards, and they are divided into teams heading in different directions.
According to the progress, these refugees who were recruited by the organization two days ago will start to open up wasteland on this wasteland today.
The first step is to weed and plow the ground. The required farm tools such as hoes and rakes should be allocated this afternoon.
After observing the surrounding environment, Wei Ruo withdrew his gaze: "Mother, I will take people around, so you stay here and wait for me to come back."
Nurse Qin is not young anymore, and she has been in the palace for many years. Such a desolate place is really not suitable for her to walk around.
"Okay, big girl, be careful. Any dirty work will be left to the accompanying people to do."
Mother Qin knew what was going on with her old bones, so she didn't go with her, and only asked the guards to take care of Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo nodded, and then walked towards the wasteland.
For Wei Ruo, such a desolate place is nothing. There are not many plants growing on the saline-alkali soil, and the species of weeds are relatively simple. When she went to the mountain to collect herbs, the vegetation on the mountain was much more lush than before her eyes.
Compared with thorn bushes, gravel piles, and cliff edges, the wasteland in front of me is really not difficult to speak of.
However, this is not the case for Wei Qingwan.
Looking at the desolate wasteland in front of him without even a decent path, Wei Qingwan hesitated.
At this time, Xiumei urged: "What's wrong with the second lady? Didn't you want to follow my lady out to practice and increase experience?"
"I'm just not used to it." Wei Qingwan argued.
After finishing speaking, Wei Qingwan bit the bullet and took a step, following the steps of Wei Ruo and a group of guards.
There is no road in the wasteland, only the traces of people walking and trampling in the past few days.
Wei Ruo was walking ahead, and within two steps, he heard Wei Qingwan's pained voice behind him.
Wei Ruo looked back, and saw that Wei Qingwan's skirt was torn by weeds, and the back of her hand was also scratched with a shallow bloodstain on the weed leaves.
Wei Ruo just glanced at it, then continued walking.
Wei Qingwan's heart was full of grievances, she looked down at the bloodstains on the back of her hand, her eyes turned red immediately.
